Acting as a place of refuge from hectic city life, the Brompton sofa welcomes you with its generously sized feather filled seat and plump scatter cushions. Large enough to fit the whole family, it’s the perfect place to relax in front of a film or curl up on your own with a good book. The seat and scatter cushions have a bordered edge finish giving the sofa an informal and inviting feel. Handmade in the UK, Brompton is available in a number of fabrics and the legs are available in a choice of a walnut, natural or black finish.
Our Stylist Says
I really like this armchair for its blend of contemporary comfort and classic detail. The Luxe velvet in cognac adds warmth and richness, making it a versatile piece that can anchor both modern and traditional interiors. It works especially well in cosy reading corners, living rooms, or even a smart home office. To style it effectively, consider pairing with neutral-toned accessories or textured throws that complement the velvet’s softness. The walnut stain feet add an elegant touch, so placing it alongside warm wood tones or brushed metals can enhance its sophisticated look. This chair offers both style and practicality, making it a reliable statement piece that can easily adapt to different decor themes.

A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
